If you love kayaking and you have a dog that you cannot simply leave behind during your kayaking trips, you have no option but to carry your dog along.

But is that a safe thing to do or are kayaks built to carry non-humans too. Let’s find out.

Can you take a dog inflatable kayaking/boating?

To answer the question right off the bat, you can certainly take your dog with you kayaking on an inflatable boat.

Unlike early-gen inflatable kayaks, modern inflatables are made from much sturdier materials. In fact, most of these modern inflatable boats and kayaks are capable of withstanding even sharp rock contacts. Therefore, letting your dog accompany you on a kayaking expedition should not be an issue.
